readx;

The main battlefield of the Airborne Forces is Qeshm Island, which is the largest island in the Strait of Holmz, and it took two hours for the Airborne Forces and some Marines to clear all the remnants of the enemy on this island, and the Iraqi flag was flying here.

By two o'clock in the afternoon, the fighting was over, and in the headquarters in Baghdad, Qusay listened to the good news one after another.

This time, Iraq used the momentum of thunder to quickly resolve the battle and take these islands, which represents Iraq's combat effectiveness and has reached a new level, they can not only conduct land operations, but also a resounding fist in the attack from sea to land!

The biggest problem exposed in this battle is the serious shortage of landing ships in Iraq, and Qusay will find a way to overcome these, and the initial idea is to import design drawings from the big eastern countries and start construction in Iraqi shipyards.

The construction of the 10,000-ton training ship ordered by Iraq has already begun at this time, and it is expected to be ready for use by the end of this year at the latest, and the construction period may be shortened to this summer. {{}}

This stall of the navy, if you want to support it, is not so simple.

"Report, the Marine Corps captain wants to report back to you personally." That's when Qusay got a message.

"Just let him report to the commander-in-chief." Qusay said.

This time it was just a drill. So, the Marines don't have much to do. That Hades must be very unconvinced. He wants to ask for more tasks, he wants to take people to fight Bandar Abbas, can he agree? This is determined by their own strategic considerations.

This chapter is a big deal) because the stakes are high. ”

Even the Minister of Defense has to hide it? This Hades is getting more and more unpleasant! Cusai said, "Then take it." "If he says it's a request for a task or something, then you have to criticize him. {{}} Hades is relying on his own relationship, and his vision is getting higher and higher, how can this be?

"Hey, I'm Abdullah." There was a chill in Qusay's voice, but then, his tone changed completely: "Really? ”

Of course it's true, my harvest this time is simply too big! Hades isolated the guy named Zadeh, and after a very sincere exchange. The other party finally confided that now, in the capital of Holmzigan, there are still five tons of gold, which were transferred here by the former zhèngfu before the fall.

Five tons of gold, that's a maddening number. In the province of Kurdistan, which Iraq now occupies, there are gold mines, but. The current production capacity is seriously insufficient, only about half a ton per year, five tons of gold, equivalent to ten years of production, and when Rajavi took over De-Heran, the treasury of zhèngfu was empty, and in order to raise funds for the war, the former zhèngfu repeatedly sold gold reserves. However, they also knew that there must be a surplus, just moved.

Without a hard currency like gold, there would be no way to issue paper money, and now the Iraqi dinar is very strong, so now in the liberated areas, the paper money of the former zhèngfu is gradually phased out and the Iraqi dinar is used, and Qusay also promised to help Rajavi zhèngfu issue their own currency at the appropriate time. {{}}

Unexpectedly, some of them were transported to Abbas, which shows that they are ready to withdraw funds at any time.

Five tons of gold, converted into dollars, is nearly 100 million dollars, so for the whereabouts of this huge amount of money, Hades is extremely secret, and must personally report to the president, so that he can come over this mission!

What task? Go to Bandar Abbas and bring back that gold!

Therefore, when Hades's loud voice reached Qusay's ears through the airwaves, Qusai learned that there were actually five tons of gold in Bandar Abbas, and he immediately ordered to find a way to grab the gold!

At the same time, in order to protect their safety, they can call air support at any time through the handheld C3I terminal to help them break the rear when necessary. {{}}

For this, Hades said that they don't need to, they just need to use a few helicopters, sneak in, and then, after a small fight, sneak back.

Because at this time, because of the sudden attack of Iraq, Holmzigan Province is overwhelmed, and they are all preparing for all kinds of countermeasures, ready at any time, the Iraqi army may attack the entire Holmzigan Province from the island of Qeshm, and they are trembling and waiting for the Iraqi attack.

As for the purchase of weapons, it has been put on the back burner for the time being, and now even if there is a transaction, the ships transporting weapons on the other side will not be able to dock, so what is the use? So, they didn't know that 300 kilograms of gold had been stolen, and they didn't know that someone was thinking about more of their gold.

Hades's tactics are also very simple, of course, using the old way: entering at night.

The opponent's defense on this side of the strait is very tight, but there is no need to be wary of their own back, so they only need to take a helicopter, land from the north of Abbas, and then take some local vehicles to enter the city, and then, quickly resolve the battle, kill the defenders of the vault, move the gold, if they encounter the opponent's blockage, when they can't cope with it, then call for helicopter support, if it doesn't work, then they can only call for fighter support. {{}}

And the best ending is that before the other party can react, he has already solved the battle.

Even before Iraq made an official statement, the super-powers learned that Iraq had used force to take control of the choke point in the Persian Gulf.

Got the news, in the White House, an emergency meeting was underway, however, the atmosphere of the meeting, was not very harmonious.

"Now, Iraq is becoming more and more presumptuous, and without a sound, it has attacked and occupied the island of Qeshm, which will directly threaten the safety of ships entering and leaving the Persian Gulf." Weinberg said he was using the word threat directly.

"Iraq occupies these islands, and its control over the entire Persian Gulf is even more powerful, especially if they build airfields on the islands, then the Arabian Sea is their sky, which will suppress our strategic space, and it is very dangerous for us to drive aircraft carriers to the Gulf of Oman as before." National Security Advisor John said.

Those islands, everyone is red-eyed, everyone wants to start, it is a piece of fat, and now, in the hands of Iraq, they are very unwilling.

"So, what are we going to do?" Reagan asked, he's hesitating right now.

Seeing that Iraq is gradually becoming stronger and controlling the entire Persian Gulf, this is absolutely not in the interests of the United States, and a fragmented Middle East can be easily controlled, and a united Middle East will be in great danger to the United States.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I just want to say one thing, now, our economy has deteriorated very seriously, and our dollar has depreciated too quickly, but it has allowed island countries to gradually seize our market, and now, the capital of island countries has entered our market and acquired our enterprises, and our economic situation is not optimistic." Treasury Secretary James said grimly: "If it weren't for the peg of our dollar to oil, then, so to speak, the biggest economic crisis that has swept us has arrived." ”

At the beginning, after the derailment of the dollar and gold, it immediately entered a dangerous period, if it were not for the later use of the dollar as the sole settlement currency for oil, then the dollar's position in the world would have changed greatly, and it would no longer be able to assume the function of an international currency.

Now, the depreciation of the dollar against the RI dollar has caused catastrophic consequences, and if at this time, to tease Iraq, this monster, will definitely do something big to hinder the United States, for example, if it is as resolute as last time, using other currencies to settle the settlement, then the dollar will completely lose its status as an international currency.

Dealing with economic problems is now a top priority for the United States, which is cutting spending, including nuclear disarmament talks with the Soviet Union, curtailing many Star Wars plans, and even preparing to print some currency.

"Perhaps, we can use this incident to provoke contradictions between Iraq and the UAE." At this time, Bush on the side said.

You know, the three islands of Abu Musa, the Greater Tunb and the Lesser Tunb, located at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz, have always been disputed, because the UAE has always claimed sovereignty over them.

Historically, the UAE has protested when they were forcibly occupied by the northern Zhèngfu, but due to the limited military strength of the UAE, no military measures have been taken.

Therefore, Bush put forward this plan, in which the United States is not involved, but these islands, which Iraq occupies, should be allowed to negotiate with the UAE and Iraq, so that contradictions between them can also be provoked.

However, Bush always felt that something was wrong, and could this provocation succeed?

Your support is my biggest motivation. )
